Ví dụ
Sir Alex Ferguson once again led the way at this particular stage, yet unlike the previous season the Scot was unable to get his mitts on the title. Instead it was Roberto Mancini who soared Man City to their maiden Premier League gong in dramatic fashion.

Of course, we don’t want him to buy the NHS at all; but he could at least have the good grace to say that he wished to get his mitts on it so that the Left can scream abuse at him and his chief fence Boris Johnson.

Glenn Close is back as the deliciously evil Cruella de Vil. Out on the prowl again after a spell in prison, de Vil is supposedly “cured” from her partiality for animal cruelty. However, when she learns that her parole (bản cam kết, khẩu lệnh) officer’s boyfriend works in an animal shelter, de Vil feigns interest in helping out in order to get her mitts on the dogs once more.
